Rainbow BrightPPGvsL356TikkurilaΔE 9.9Noticeable difference

With LRVs of 14 and 12, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 9.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
